       One thing I feel like a lot of people miss is that we don't necessarily need true "high speed" rail. To make rail attractive, it just has to be faster than driving and more comfortable than (and competitively priced with) air travel. Conventional rail can go up to 125 mph in some cases. Amtrak's existing long distance routes hit 90 where they can. That's already faster than driving.

       I've posted this before but I dream of a 10-12 hour night train from Boston to Chicago. I could get off work, bike a few blocks to the station, hop on the train (with bike), have dinner, grab a drink and read my book, go to sleep, wake up in Chicago and bike to brunch with my friends.
